Netflix is rolling out an impressive slate of new content this November, giving us plenty of reasons to stay cozy indoors as the weather turns chilly. Let me walk you through the most exciting additions hitting your queue.
Must-Watch New Netflix Originals
The Crown’s highly anticipated first season debuts November 4th, and trust me, you won’t want to miss this one. This lavish drama chronicles Queen Elizabeth II’s early reign with stunning production values and a brilliant performance by Claire Foy. It’s essentially Downton Abbey meets House of Cards – perfect for both history buffs and drama lovers.
Gilmore Girls fans, mark your calendars for November 25th. The four-part revival “A Year in the Life” finally arrives, bringing us back to Stars Hollow. Each 90-minute episode represents a different season, letting us catch up with Lorelai and Rory through winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Fresh Movies Worth Your Time
Remember how much you loved The Big Short? Well, you can stream it starting November 11th. This clever explanation of the 2008 financial crisis somehow manages to be both educational and entertaining, with stellar performances from Christian Bale and Steve Carell.
For family movie night, The Jungle Book (2016) arrives mid-month. Even if you’ve seen the animated classic countless times, this live-action version brings something fresh with gorgeous visuals and voice work from Bill Murray and Idris Elba.
Hidden Gems You Might Have Missed
Don’t overlook Burn After Reading, the Coen Brothers’ hilarious spy comedy hitting Netflix this month. It’s one of those films that gets better with each viewing, as you catch more of the subtle jokes and interconnected plotlines.
Level Up, a British thriller about a video game enthusiast forced into a dangerous real-world game, offers an interesting take on the genre. It’s perfect for those nights when you want something different from the usual blockbuster fare.
Last Call: What’s Leaving Netflix
If you haven’t watched E.T. yet (or want to revisit it), do so before November 30th. Same goes for Deliverance and The Land Before Time – they’re all departing at month’s end.
Remember, Netflix’s content varies by region, so availability might differ depending on where you’re watching from. I’d recommend adding these titles to your list now so you don’t forget about them when they become available. Happy streaming!
